Chapter 342 Why Call Me Uncle?
After the rent was paid, the staff registered them and prepared to take them to see the house.
Qin Jun was relieved to see that everything had been arranged for the four of them. He wanted to take Lu Yan and his sister away directly, but he was stopped by Shi Jiaojiao.
"Brother Qin, are you busy later?"
Qin Jun shook his head. He had just arrived at the base today, so some work had been scheduled for tomorrow and he could rest the rest of the time.
Shi Jiaojiao smiled and said, "That's great, you can come with us, get to know the way, and come visit us during your break."
On the one hand, she wanted to let Qin Jun find the way, and on the other hand, Lu Yan and his sister were about to leave, and she wanted to pack some luggage for the two children.
We can’t give out anything that is too eye-catching, but we can still give out some ordinary supplies.
Fortunately, the Qin army was following them, so no one dared to attack the brother and sister.
Qin Jun thought about it and didn't refuse.
Because they had a car, everyone quickly arrived at the yard they rented.
Shi Jiaojiao got out of the car and looked at the simple yard in front of her. She couldn't help but feel a little happy.
This will be their home from now on.
Although she doesn't know how long she can live here, it doesn't stop her from telling me about her enthusiasm for this courtyard.
There is a large iron gate on the outer wall of the yard, and the key is in the hands of the staff.
After the staff opened the door, everyone followed in.
The whole yard was only roughly tidied up, and the ground was covered with dirt, which I would have to clean up myself later.
The four of them didn't look around the yard for long and went straight to the door of the house.
Maybe for safety reasons, all the doors here are heavy gates like big iron gates.
But surprisingly, the way to open the door is very advanced.
Yes, it is advanced.
Because this door is opened by swiping an ID card.
The staff explained: "Ordinary key locks have too many disadvantages and are easily pried open, so they are far less secure than this kind of lock."
Shi Jiaojiao nodded: "Can we use our ID cards to open the door now?"
Staff: "Yes, I have linked the identities of the four of you to this yard at the property registration office just now. As long as you are renting it, only the four of you can enter."
Shi Jiaojiao took out her ID card and swiped it lightly on the door lock.
With a "click", the door opened.
This feels just like swiping your room card when staying in a hotel.
After coming in, everyone looked around the layout of the house.
The living room, bedroom, toilet, etc. are all arranged very reasonably. The layout of the upper and lower floors is not much different, except that there is one less living room on the second floor and the bedroom is larger.
After confirming there were no problems, the staff left the gate key and left.
Shi Jiaojiao left Mu Ci and Tang Wei to talk to Qin Jun, and she took Wang Jia out the door.
They came to the car and opened the trunk.
From the outside, it looked like Shi Jiaojiao was moving things out of the trunk, but in fact, she took them out from the space, and Wang Jia was blocking her view.
The two of them were packing up while discussing in low voices.
Before the soldiers moved away, Shi Jiaojiao did leave a few bags of food for the brother and sister, enough for them to eat for a long time.
It’s not that she couldn’t keep some more for the brother and sister, but no matter how much she kept, she wouldn’t be able to give it out.
There is only so much space in the car, so it's no problem to squeeze in six or seven bags. If you put more, wouldn't that be treating people like fools?
Besides, there was too much food for two children to preserve, so this was enough.
Jiaojiao took some pots, pans, and utensils for eating from the space. In addition, she also took several sets of clothes, all of which were altered from adult clothes.
The rest were some miscellaneous small items, such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, worn but very clean towels, etc. These were not conspicuous items, at least in the S City Shelter, they could be bought by spending points.
Forget about toilet paper, which is a rare consumable now. Ordinary survivors have long returned to the ancient times when they used wooden sticks to scrape their butts. They can't find paper at all, and even if they did, they couldn't afford it.
This kind of toilet paper will probably have to wait until the country is completely stabilized and the end of the world before there is enough capacity to produce it again.
Shi Jiaojiao also brought two small pots of divided cactus and aloe vera for the two children, a little seasoning, a few pieces of mint candies that were the most common on the counter before the apocalypse, a small bag of giant rat jerky, and finally, the inflatable mattress that the brother and sister had used before was also stuffed in by her.
This is all she can do now.
After packing up her things, Shi Jiaojiao took out a large nylon bag and put all the scattered items in it, so that she wouldn't be afraid of being seen by others.
At this time, Qin Jun also came out and looked at the two of them: "Are you done?"
Shi Jiaojiao nodded, and the trunk was closed before the other party came out.
"That's all. You'll have to take good care of them from now on."
Qin Jun went straight forward, carried the food on his shoulders, and walked towards his off-road vehicle.
Mu Ci and Tang Wei didn't just stand there and stepped forward to help.
Lu Yan pulled his sister to stand beside Shi Jiaojiao, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out.
Lu Zhao looked at this scene curiously, then looked at his brother: "Brother, are we leaving?"
Lu Yan nodded and said "yeah".
Shi Jiaojiao also heard the little girl's voice, rubbed her head, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Uncle Qin will protect you in the future. Of course, he is busy with work and there are times when he can't take care of you. At that time, you can only rely on yourself." When she said this, she looked directly into Lu Yan's eyes.
Lu Yan nodded vigorously.
"The food I gave you is enough for you to eat for a while. Don't worry if you need anything. You donated such a large amount of food. Points will be added to your ID card. You can use the points to buy everything when the time comes."
Now Lu Yan and his sister do not have ID cards. They had barely escaped death, and their clothes were torn into rags. Plus, they were not old enough to apply for ID cards before the end of the world, so where did they get ID cards?
However, because of the two people's donation of grain, and Qin Jun's relationship, the ID cards should be issued soon.
Lu Yan listened to the instructions obediently and felt less anxious about leaving.
He felt that in the blink of an eye, all his things were packed up.
It was time for him and his sister to leave.
He was fine. Although he was reluctant, he had already prepared to leave.
But my sister was different. She had tears in her eyes and her lips turned down.
Past experiences taught her that adults don’t like the sound of children crying.
So tears flowed but no sound came out of my mouth.
Wang Jia hurried forward and comforted her in a low voice.
Shi Jiaojiao also sighed: "You just moved to a new place. You can come visit me when you are free in the future."
Lu Zhao wiped away his tears and nodded obediently: "Then can I come when I miss you?"
Shi Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Of course, when you come, ask Uncle Qin to call me first, so that you don't miss it."
At this time, Qin Jun also came over and laughed when he heard this: "What kind of seniority is this? You call me Brother Qin, and they call you brother and sister, but why do you become Uncle Qin when you come to me?"
Tang Wei smiled and joked: "At your age, if you get married earlier, you can have two children. What else can you call him if not uncle?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone laughed.
And this laughter also concealed the sadness of parting.
